Dainty refreshments were served and the evening was one of unusual pleasantry. Mrs. H. L. Brown assisted her sister in preparing and carrying out the shower.

Romance of J. A. Kiester And Wife Suddenly Terminated.

A few years ago, not over two or three, James A. Kiester, widower, of Jordan township, married Sarah L. Kendall, widow, who was looking for«a home and who had advertised in local newspapers to find one with a kind man as a helpmate. Soon after their marriage Mrs. Kiester wrote an account of the wedding and told how happy they were.

A few weeks ago each was hunting for a lawyer, and the -are mighty easy to find when there is a prospect of a fee. Each declared the other Unbearable and Mrs. Kiester flaunted a contract of her own wording that provided for their separation, the import of which was that Mr. Kiester would dispose of his bargain by paying her S9OO. On the strength of the agreement Mrs. Kiester went to Remington and bargained for a little house, to be paid when she got her divorce and alimony. This came along Friday when Judge Hanley granted the divorce, whittling the alimony down to SBSO. Both seem to think that they got a bargain.

Seed Arrived for the

DATE SET FOR CAMP OF INDIANA MILITIA

Soldiers Will Again Camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison—One Day Devoted to Athletics.

The Indiana National Guard will hold its annual encampment at Fort Benjamin Harrison July 21st to 30th; inclusive. A bulletin sent out by Adjutant-General McCoy sets that date. One day has been set apart to be devoted to athletics, which will meet the approval of officers and men all over the state, many of whom have argued that one day of recreation during the ten will inspire many athletes to enlist in the militia and leave a good feeling with all. It has been eight years since the last athletic events were held ii) connection with the national guard of the state, while in eastern states they are always a feature. All the events common at field day exercises will be indulged in, and baseball games, tugs-of-war and other sports included. Company M has an enlisted strength of 57 at this time, but will be glad to enlist several more young men. Application can be made at the armory any Wednesday or Saturday evening or of any of the officers at their places of business at any time. To attend this camp ehlistments must be made not later than May 21st Each soldier is given a free trip and also receives sls for the ten days at the camp. It is a fine experience for any young man.

The Knights of the Maccabees of die World.

This association was organized in 1878 in London, Canada. Reorganized and incorporated at Port Huron, Mich., September, 1883. It furnishes its members benefits in case of sickness, accidents and death. -*• It has paid to disabled members and the families of deceased members nearly fifty-five million dollars. It is thoroughly representative in its form of government, and fraternal in its relationship with its members. Its ritualistic work is both pleasing and instructive. Violent, humiliating or boisterous Initiations are prohibited. All applicants for beneficial membership must pass a careful and thorough medical examination. Its business is economically conducted and on a sound basis, and in accordance with recognized business principles. - - ' Its rates of contribution to the benefit fund are both, equitable and adequate, thus removing any question of its future ability to meet its obligations and perpetuate its existence. It has over 5,000 subordinate tents in 50 states and territories and eight Canadian, provinces. The membership of the association is nearly 300,000. Its accumulated funds now amount to .over $11,000,000. Its investments are all made in government, state and municipal bonds.

Only white persons of sound bodily health and good character between the ages of 18 and 50 are admitted to beneficial membership. Members may participate in its life benefit fund on a whole life plan or a term plan. The Knights of the Maccabees Of the World have built a dual brotherhood, exalting true fraternity as the greatest blessing of our day and recognition of the cooperative benefit certificate as a business asset. Its substantial foundations speak eloquently of its real bigness. Its far reaching membership makes it a factor in the welfare of the people of a continent. Its wholesome ritualism has strengthened the home ties of two nations, and enjoined fidelity to country and to God. Its achievements stamp it as obe of the greatest co-operative business institutions of the country. Its financial standing shows the higehst point attained by any fraternal association in all America.—Adv.
